Amazing grannies! They became almost as famous as the Beatles in the 1960s.
Billed as Liverpool’s first all-female rock band, the Liverbirds formed in 1962, inspired by the Beatles. They went from music novices to playing for packed crowds across Europe, from the likes of the Rolling Stones to Jimi Hendrix. This film captures how their career was powered by friendship, modest upbringings and a desire to prove themselves as serious musicians – before the incredible ride met a bittersweet end.

Funny observation but I now see that car (I'm assuming it's a Morris) on so many films of the period. There is a granny group here that do a lot of protest songs.
